Community Outreach

Here at Dynamic Earth we love the opportunity to showcase all that the centre can offer but we also understand that sometimes coming to us is just not an option and with this in mind we now have a dedicated outreach programme. For further information on any of the outreach activities simply contact us on 0131 523 1207.

Dino's Dynamos goes on the Road

With thanks to the generosity of a private sponsor, Dynamic Earth’s fantastic children’s club Dino’s Dynamos is going on the road. We are excited to be able to offer a limited number of fully funded outreach workshops to selected afterschool clubs across Edinburgh and the Lothian’s.

There are 4 great workshops to choose from which all include a make and take craft activity. Workshops last an hour and a half, are suitable for children aged 6 – 14 and have a maximum capacity of 20 per workshop.
